Christie’s laser projection systems have been employed at an amusement park for kids named Playtica, located in the outskirts of Seoul at Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. A total of 17 ceiling-mounted Christie 630-GS series 1DLP laser projectors installed by Christie’s Korean partner, Underdog Studio, have been used.
The 17 Christie 630-GS series laser projectors are deployed at seven unique attractions. At the Art Drawings attraction, which uses three projectors, children’s drawings of sea creatures are digitally scanned and displayed on a large screen projection showing an aquarium brimming with marine life. At the Media Table attraction, where two projectors are used, young visitors can interact with objects projected on the surface of two tables.
For slightly older kids, they can challenge each other to solve mathematical questions at the Trampoline attraction where two projectors project visuals on a wall by jumping and touching the correct answers displayed. Likewise, they can score points at the Ball Shooting attraction (two projectors) by hitting projected objects on a wall with rubber balls. Those trying out the interactive Climbing attraction (two projectors) can experience animated graphics projected on the rock-climbing wall as they attempt to reach the top, while the highly immersive Bicycle Racing attraction (two projectors) pits players against one another as they race to the finish line.
Robert Lee, executive director of Underdog Studio, said: “The use of laser projection at Playtica has proven to be a big draw since they became operational, as those attractions that employ projections are highly popular among children of all ages. Playtica has chosen the Christie 630 GS laser projectors due to their unbeatable combination of long-lasting brightness, image quality, form factor, zero consumables and lower cost of ownership. The usage of Christie laser projectors has redefined children’s entertainment and increased the appeal of various attractions at this venue.”
